After downloading an installer (see the section Download an Installer
to see which installer you need), decompress it and launch it by doing
the following:

On Windows, execute install.exe in the denodo-install-6.0
directory.

Launch the installer with administrator privileges. To do this,
right-click install.exe and click Run as administrator. If the
Windows User Account Control is enabled, you will see a dialog like the
following, in which you
have the credentials of an administrator user.

Administrator credentials request dialog

On Linux, execute the following:

cd denodo-install-6.0
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

The wizard will guide you through the installation steps. In addition,
you can always click the Help button of the wizard to obtain
assistance during the installation process.

Step 1

The wizard will display the product licensing conditions. Read them
carefully and if you accept them, select I accept the terms of this
license and click Next.

Step 2

Choose between two installation methods:

Default Installation: this is the recommended option for most
users. You can select the modules you want to install and they will
be installed with their default configuration values.

Custom Installation: recommended for advanced users. You will be
able to set the values of several configuration parameters such as
the ports where the Denodo Platform servers will listen for incoming
connections.

Step 2: selecting the installation method

Enter the Installation path where the Denodo Platform will be
installed (hereinafter <DENODO_HOME>).

Important

When installing on Windows, we strongly recommend to
install the Denodo Platform on the root of the drive (e.g.
C:\Denodo\DenodoPlatform) and not in “C:\Program files” nor
“C:\Program files (x86)”.

As the Denodo Platform writes data in the directory where is installed,
installing outside “Program Files” avoids issues caused by the
protections of the Windows User Account Control (UAC).

Close all the Microsoft Internet Explorer instances before installing
the Denodo Platform. Some ITPilot modules need the browser to be closed
in order to be installed correctly.

Important

If you install the Denodo Platform in a path where
there is a previous installation, the existing metadata will be
overwritten.

Enter the License file location if you have a license provided by
Denodo. If you do not have one, leave this box empty. In this case, the
Denodo Platform will be installed without a license. You can provide the
license after the installation process is complete. The section Install the License explains how you can do this.

Before the installer begins copying the
necessary files (this process may take several minutes), the installer
will display a summary of the installation configuration. You can save the summary in plain text or HTML by clicking
the Save button.

Finally, the installation process can create shortcuts in the menus of
the operating system to launch the Denodo Platform Control Center (see
section Execution).
